The barbarian sums up walking out of Bobby Dodd Stadium on the right side of the score.
It’s become a familiar feeling, although it never gets old.

Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Muckbeast,
You must be joking. I hope you are. Bobo called his best game of the year today. No running backs to speak of, using corner backs to run tailback and Tech knew it and still Bobo called a game that got 31 honest to goodness hard earned points. I only had issue with one of his series when he ran Thomas up the middle on 2nd and 10 and gave up the sack on 3rd down to take them out of field goal range. Other than that I thought he called an awesome game.

Can’t be too unhappy with the first half I suppose…though I really hope Grantham has some adjustments for the second half…and lays into his boys a bit about missed tackles. Offense looked pretty good considering we apparently have no running backs….wtf is up with Crowell?
Hope we can put some points on the board to start the second half and pull away from these douches…really would be nice to get up big so we can get some of the first string defenders out and not lose anyone to a cheapass cut block….but I really just want a win….always forget how much I hate Tech until the game comes around.
LikeLike
Scooter…good question about Crowell. It didn’t seem to bother him a bit that he wasn’t playing. I’m glad he was happy that the Dawgs were prevailing, but I worry about his sense of competitiveness. I guess we should understand that he is a work in progress and that CMR will know how to get him where he should be. Still, I was hoping to see him in the game, if only as a decoy. As it turns out…I gladly needed not to worry.
Maybe LSU will be his breakout game. Gonna be interesting.

A NOTE TO TV BROADCASTERS
Ok I am fed up, and I need to get this off my chest. Sorry about the length. Below are a few recommendations that I wish broadcasters would heed before I end up kicking a puppy and clawing my ears off next time I listen to an ESPN crew:
Be wary of bringing in canned narratives into the game. Be willing to update or completely disregard a narrative based on the reality of what you are seeing on the field. If player A is not known for his breakaway speed, then do not remind the viewers of this struggle as he breaks away from the defense and creates separation by using his speed. If you’ve decided coach B is too cautions and rarely takes risks, do not point this out as as he goes for it on 4th and 2 inside his own 30 yard line for the second time in the game.
Watch the play. No really. WATCH THE PLAY. Do not state the obvious and move on to some frivolous discussion about how many Peachtree roads there are in Atlanta. In EVERY play, there are at least four things worth noting that the casual observer may or may not notice. Tell them about a big block that fired up the sidelines despite the fact that the punt return was only for a few yards. This may take effort. This may take some time looking at the replay. You may actually need to stop talking and think for a moment.
If it takes more than 15 seconds to mention a flag on the field, please find another line of work. Flags are crucial parts of the game that build and takeaway momentum. If you are too busy chatting about a coaches post game kiss with his wife than actually noting a critical holding call, maybe its time for you to try your luck on voiceovers.
First impressions of a play or a call are sometimes wrong. Do not stick by your guns when the video replay clearly shows the opposite is true. You just multiplied your stupidity by huge increments of stubborn.
Tell me about the history of a rivalry. The recent and the far back history. Tell me how loud the fans sound, what the emotion is like on the field, what the strategy of the coaches may use. What are the strengths and weaknesses of a team? Be SPECIFIC. Generalizations are for lazy people. Stay away from tired narratives such as ‘looking ahead’ or general statements about ‘what a team is thinking’. A team has around a 100 players. They are not all thinking the same thing.
Feel free to add more

I am not going to let these people off the hook by trying to say Bobo has “improved” this year, and that is why things are different. Otherwise we don’t properly learn the lesson that these last few years of pain should have taught us, and that is that playing defense is not optional, you might can be consistently good in other conferences with just an offense but not our conference.
